Safaris in Etosha National Park

The next day there was mainly just one point of programme: Etosha National Park. After entering at Ombuka and having a short look on the water hole- with no animals this time – we went back to the camp in Okaukuju. Here we shall bye liquids for the next day. Let's say, we could if we had not bought that much water in Windhoek, so we had enough for the park and even more butt, however, the safari begins.

Even on the first few kilometres we finally managed to get one of the numerous springboks to a certain extent in front of the camera. Just as the Oryx they like to show you their asses. That is: Most of the antelopes walking out of the picture are in fact “buttocks-antelopes”.
It is the same thing with the guinea fowls, which look, when you come closer, quite similar to stones, when they hang around on the ground. Annette sees walking pieces of elephant-dung in them when they are running around.

African Hornbill

Besides the numerous animals, which can hardly be failed to notice in the shrub less parts of the park, it is always worthy to observe the trees carefully. That way we saw a few metres away from the street a yellow-billed hornbill, a few second later Sydney showed us a martial eagle.
